PENTECOST 17 - Genesis 21:1-3; 22:1-14; John 1:29-34

The story of Abraham's offering of his son Isaac is one of the more arresting narratives in the Hebrew Bible. In this sermon, Rev Derwyn offers an approach to this episode that has not often been considered. And whether he is right or wrong about this possibility, the scenario nevertheless presents us with our own practical concern: how can we be confident that we know what God expects of us or wants from us or is calling us to do?
